Are you suggesting that Parcells drafts a pure blocking TE? Because that is something that I can't see Parcells doing. You can teach blocking techniques, but it's hard to find someone with "pure pass catching" techniques.

No. But you have to have ballance. Fasano has balance. Witten has balance. Coats had balance. The italian dude he had in NY whose name I forgot, had balance.

Hernandez does not have the build nor the willingness to be an inline blocker.

Andrew Quarless is a kid to keep an eye on from Penn State. He has the size, the ability to stretch the field and is decent as an inline blocker, although he needs work on that.

Due to some maturity issues early in his time at Penn State, he will probably be there in the 5th-6th round. He had a very nice senior year and had 8 catches for 88 yards in the bowl game win over LSU.

Anthony McCoy just torpedoed his draft stock big time, and he already had red flags because of academic issues and being suspended from the team because of it.

Mark Bavaro is the TE from NYG. He had practically the same build as Hernandez (Bavaro=6'4" 245#, Hernandez=6'3" 245).

Why do you say that Hernandez doesn't have the willingness to be a blocker? blocking can be taught, something he wasn't even asked to do at UF due to the style of offense that was ran. Whereas pass catching isn't as easily taught, but more of a natural thing.

From what I've read he does not have the willingness. But you're right that he wasn't even asked to do that.

It's a different game now a days though. Back then, the Refrigerator Perry was a big deal because he was over 3 bills. Now a days, if you're a DT, or an O-lineman and you are not 300#, you're not big enough.
